The Room

Last Saturday, I went with a bunch of friends to E St Cinema to go see "The Room". It's a movie so bad that it has now developed a huge cult following like the Rocky Horror Picture Show but way worse. I remember reading about it in this EW article a while back and a few friends had recommend checking it out at E Street Cinema. They described it as a scene, unlike any movie you've been to. They were right. Described as the "Citizen Kane of bad movies" it is so awesomely bad, it's a must see. The lead is also shockingly the producer and director of this cinema bomb masterpiece. The female lead is supposedly a new actress trying to make it into showbiz (oops).

Here are some highlights in bullet form:

• Yelling "Spoooooooon!!!!!" and throwing dozens and dozens of plastic spoons every time the random picture framed spoon picture was shown.
• Chanting "Go, go, go, go, etc" when they pan across the Golden Gate Bridge
  
• The random (mostly) witty comments from the peanut gallery throughout the movie
• The horrifically terrible love scenes
• The heavy accent of the lead (and director)
• The cheesy lines, out of focus picture and random who the f are you characters
• Denny the creepy kid and his football
  
• Drinking booze

There are plenty of other things that you need to go check out on your own. They have midnight showings across the US every once in a while. In DC, they have it at E Street once a month and definitely worth it. This morning I have re-watched the trailer and youtube clips of the Room and have had a shit eating grin my office all day. Definitely go see it.

Here's the official trailer of "The Room"
